CP doesn't exist.
CAP is about what happens in case of a partition (P). You can either remain available (AP) our you can remain consistent (CP).
If you don't have partitions then CAP doesn't apply. But I wouldn't recommend depending on that. For example Google's Spanner is CP, but they work really hard to make partitions rare, giving them 99.999% availability.
